Caleb Durbin Fantasy Stats

The Boston Red Sox announced that infielder Caleb Durbin (finger) had surgery on his pinkie finger last week, which was a "left fifth finger PIP joint reconstruction," according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Durbin played through his finger injury in 2026 in his first year in Boston and finished with a .248/.332/.378 slash line with a .710 OPS, a career-high 13 home runs, 64 RBI, 20 stolen bases, and 74 runs scored in 153 regular-season games across 586 plate appearances. It was only Durbin's second season in the big leagues after he hit .256/.334/.387 with 11 homers, 53 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and 60 runs scored in 136 games and 506 plate appearances as a rookie in 2025 with the Milwaukee Brewers. Durbin should be fully healthy for the start of the 2027 regular season in his second season in Beantown. Although he only had four round-trippers in the second half, Durbin hit a strong .274 (61-for-223) with 25 RBI and 10 steals in 66 games played. The 26-year-old leaves a lot to be desired in the power department as a third baseman, but his speed at the hot corner is still very enticing as a corner-infield option in fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin hit just .228 (65-for-285) with a .686 OPS, nine home runs, 39 RBI, 10 steals, and 38 runs scored in 87 games and 317 plate appearances during the first half of the season. He has only one home run in 17 games since the All-Star break in mid-July, but he's gone 19-for-60 (.317) at the plate with an .806 OPS as the Red Sox have gone on a run to put themselves firmly in the mix for a playoff spot during the stretch run. Overall, the 26-year-old is hitting .243/.313/.394 with a .708 OPS, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 12 steals, and 50 runs scored in 104 games across 388 plate appearances this year in his first season in Boston and just his second year in the major leagues. Durbin has definitely hit the ball better so far in the second half, but beneath the hood, his quality of contact doesn't necessarily project an extended strong run to close out the season. Durbin has never profiled as a big power bat, and he has a .233 expected batting average and .284 xwOBA (current wOBA of .313). Speed is Durbin's most endearing quality, and he'll continue to be an everyday player for the BoSox. He's rostered in 39% of Yahoo leagues.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin has worked his way into mixed-league relevance with a useful blend of power and speed. He is batting .236/.299/.400 with 10 home runs, 42 RBI, 42 runs, and 11 stolen bases across 92 games. Durbin does not hit the ball especially hard, but his 13.6% strikeout rate helps him stay involved and keeps the floor from falling apart when the power cools. The 26-year-old has also settled into regular work at third base and carries second-base eligibility in Yahoo leagues, giving managers more ways to fit him into a lineup. His 84.9 mph average exit velocity, 29.2% hard-hit rate, and 2.7% barrel rate make another major power surge unlikely, so the appeal is the overall category mix rather than a breakout. Durbin remains available in 59% of Yahoo leagues and ranks 25th in RotoBaller's latest waiver rankings. He belongs in the 10-team mix.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin has not done much for batting average, but the category mix still plays. He is hitting .228 with nine home runs, 38 runs, 39 RBI, and 10 steals across 285 at-bats. Durbin also came out of the break with five hits in the July 17 doubleheader against Tampa Bay, three in the opener and two in the nightcap. The contact helps keep the floor from falling out. Durbin has struck out just 44 times in 317 plate appearances, plays regularly at third, and carries second-base eligibility in Yahoo leagues. He is not a must-add in every format, but there is enough here for managers who need a little speed without punting power. Durbin is currently on 37% of Yahoo rosters and belongs in the 10-team mix.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin got off to a brutal start to the 2026 season, hitting .183 with one home run across 164 plate appearances through the end of May. However, the 26-year-old rebounded with a standout June, hitting .326 with six home runs and five stolen bases across 92 plate appearances in the month. Durbin has just four hits in his first 25 at-bats in July, but two of those hits have gone for home runs. For the season overall, Durbin is now slashing a respectable .225/.288/.396 with nine home runs, 39 RBI, 36 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases. While his 29.1% hard-hit rate is uninspiring, he limits swing-and-miss (13.8% strikeout rate). Now that he's seemingly recovered from his early-season slump, Durbin has value on the waiver wire as a balanced contributor who can fill a depth role for fantasy managers.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin has emerged as a waiver-wire target after a hot month of June at the plate. In 25 games and 92 plate appearances during the month, Durbin went 28-for-86 (.326) with six home runs, six doubles, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 26-year-old is now hitting .229/.286/.387 with a .674 OPS, seven home runs, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 78 games across 278 plate appearances in his first year in Beantown and his second overall in the majors. It was an incredibly hot month of June, but Durbin, who stands at just 5-foot-6 and 183 pounds, isn't your typical third baseman, both in stature and power potential. He hit .256 (114-for-445) with 11 homers, 53 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and 60 runs scored in 136 regular-season games with the Milwaukee Brewers in his rookie campaign last year. Fantasy managers considering Durbin off the waiver wire should be targeting him for his speed and not his recent power surge. He has a weak .234 xBA, .324 xSLG, and .277 xwOBA, suggesting that his power outburst last month isn't sustainable.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball recently, and he went 1-for-4 at the plate with two RBI, a run scored, two stolen bases, and a strikeout in the team's 5-4, 10-inning win at Fenway on Sunday to help Boston complete a four-game sweep over the division-rival New York Yankees. Durbin's overall numbers in 2026 in his second year in the majors (first with the BoSox) don't look very enticing from a fantasy standpoint, as he's hitting just .230/.283/.381 with a .664 OPS, six home runs, 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 75 games and 267 plate appearances. However, he has become a strong waiver-wire addition in fantasy leagues of late due to his hot streak at the plate, and he's eligible at both second and third base in most leagues. In his last 11 games, Durbin has gone 17-for-39 (.436) with three home runs, eight RBI, and four stolen bases. Durbin had 11 homers and 18 RBI in 136 games in his rookie campaign with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2025, and he's Boston's starting third baseman. He's available in 70% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin (finger) will return for Thursday's series opener against the division-rival New York Yankees at Fenway Park, starting at third base and batting sixth against Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler, per MLB.com. Durbin rejoins Boston's starting lineup a day after being pulled from Wednesday's contest early against the Colorado Rockies due to a partial dislocation of his left pinkie finger. The 26-year-old former 14th-round selection by the Atlanta Braves in 2021 out of Washington University in St. Louis has struggled to a .218/.273/.362 slash line, .636 OPS, five home runs, 30 RBI, 25 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in his 229 at-bats in his first year in Beantown. However, he's become a popular waiver-wire pickup recently since going 20-for-65 (.308) with four home runs, five doubles, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, and three stolen bases in his 19 games in June. Durbin could be battling some pain with his finger in his return on Thursday, and he's gone hitless in five career at-bats against Schlittler.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin (finger) was pulled from Wednesday's game early against the Colorado Rockies after suffering a left fifth finger subluxation, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Durbin injured his finger while sliding into first base in the third inning. He was replaced at third base by Anthony Siegler, with Andruw Monastario going to second base, and Marcelo Mayer (foot) entering the game to play shortstop. Before leaving early, Durbin went 0-for-2 at the plate at Coors Field. Until we know more about Durbin's condition, we'll call him day-to-day, but this certainly has the potential to sideline him for an unknown period of time going forward. The 26-year-old former 14th-round pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2021 out of Washington University in St. Louis came into Wednesday's tilt hitting just .220 (50-for-227) with five home runs and seven stolen bases, but he has emerged lately as a waiver-wire pickup after hitting .317 (20-for-63) with four home runs, five doubles, eight RBI, 10 runs, and three steals in 18 games in June.

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin got off to a disastrous start to the 2026 season, hitting .183 with one home run across 182 plate appearances through the end of May. However, the 26-year-old has started to turn it around a bit in June, hitting .220/.250/.415 with two home runs, four RBI, six runs scored, and one stolen base across 44 plate appearances this month. Durbin entered play on Thursday riding a 15-at-bat hitless streak, so fantasy managers should take note that his hot streak to open June may have been a mirage. Still, Durbin was a far more productive player across 506 plate appearances with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2025, hitting .256 with 11 home runs and 18 stolen bases. He's also remained a fixture in the Boston lineup and may have a chance to work his way out of the extended slump in what's looking like it may be a lost season for the Red Sox. In deeper leagues, Durbin may still be worth targeting on the waiver wire ahead of a possible second-half bounce-back.
